Amal, 7, carries a poster of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah among the rubble on August 31, 2006 in Dahiya, the southern suburb district of Beirut. The 2006 conflict between Hezbollah and Israeli military forces started on July 12, 2006 and continued until a United-Nations ceasefire on August 14, 2006. The conflict killed over 1,500 people, most of whom were Lebanese civilians, severely damaged Lebanese infrastructure, and displaced hundreds of thousands. Even after the ceasefire, much of South Lebanon remained uninhabitable due to unexploded cluster bombs.
